Sermon Notes

“Behold, The virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they will call his name Immanuel (which means God with us”
Matthew 1:23

Where is God in the Valley?

We may enjoy God on the mountaintops, but we get to know Him intimately in the valleys.

5 What joy for those whose strength comes from the Lord, who have set their minds on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem. 6 When they walk through the Valley of Weeping, it will become a place of refreshing springs. The autumn rains will clothe it with blessings. 7 They will continue to grow stronger, and each of them will appear before God in Jerusalem.
Psalm 84:5-7

“Blessed are those whose strength is found in you.”

We were not created to be independent.

What you think about matters.

I may be in the valley but I’m just passing through.

God rarely reveals Himself to people who are rushed.
